The TX-RZ50 features up to 11.2 channel processing and pre-outs for 7.2.4 system layouts, making it an ideal choice for your premium home cinema setup The TX-RZ50 features up to 11.2 channel processing and pre-outs for 7.2.4 system layouts, making it an ideal choice for your premium home theater setup. HDMI 2.1 with 8K HDMI Featuring DAA (Dynamic Audio Amplification), the TX-RZ50 delivers effortlessly punchy sound. Combined with the High Current power supply and extra-large, customised capacitors, it means the TX-RZ50 produces a thrilling sound that keeps you fully immersed in the action.

You can also stream music by connecting an external hard drive on the rear USB port although we would definitely prefer to have this at the front as it is extremely difficult to reach it where it is now and as a result most people have to rely on some kind of USB extender for easy access. Ultimately, there are a lot of AVR’s on the market to choose from. The Pioneer VSX-LX505 and the Onkyo TX-RZ50 are at the higher end of AVR’s with a lot of the same components as well as great capacities for your home theatre. Speaking about the TX-RZ50 specifications, first of all, I should say that despite the claimed nine channels, the receiver can be configured in the 11.2 or 7.2.4 system, thanks to the presence of pre-inputs (for this, you will need an external amplifier). Great, don’t you think? Also, ensure your speakers are ready for this power. The manufacturer claims to give you 250 W/Ch (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 10% THD, 1 ch) or 120 W/Ch (8 ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.08% THD, 2 ch). Of course, it would be better if you had a big room and strong eardrums, no different. Considering the above, one should have expected that the receiver supports almost all modern audio formats (all sorts of DTS:X and Dolby Atmos). Still, IMAX Enhanced and listening to music in Hi-Res formats are especially worth mentioning. In general, not to rant too much – you get to watch and listen to almost all content on the market today, which means this device will serve you well for a long time.Both AVR’s come with advanced room correction capabilities. The Onkyo TX-RZ50 has Dirac Live ™ and AccuEq Room Corrections, and the Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 has the advanced MCACC and Dirac Live ™ Room Correction. These calibration solutions allow for better sound quality in addition to reducing time delays. Set-up and Installation Onkyo TX-RZ50 You can do a 1 point measurement at your sweet spot and load it to determine your sub gain if you don’t have access to a mic and REW. The TX-RZ50 seems to be using an updated version of this Panasonic HDMI 2.1 chip which allows up to 40Gbps of bandwidth in three of its HDMI ports and this includes all the signals with a 4K@120Hz configuration including Xbox Series X. Just to confirm this we indeed connected an Xbox series X and our test TV indicated that we were getting 4K@120Hz with VRR at 40Gbps signal bandwidth. During our session we didn’t experience any HDMI signal loss or any other connection issues indicating that this AV receiver is truly the first that offers a problem-free HDMI 2.1 gaming experience. First of all we will talk about its calibration system and this is the rare case where an AV receiver actually includes two of them! You see, until recently all Onkyo AV receivers were coming with their proprietary AccuEQ auto calibration system. For the first time Onkyo still uses it but also brought Dirac Live built-in and this is something that many fans of the brand will warmly welcome. AV receivers are notoriously complex, with reams of features and confusing technical specifications. (For example, what's 4K/120Hz anyway?) Yet, what are the things that really matter when buying a new model? I'm going to sum up the most important ones right here. HDMI inputs

If you’re really trying to re-create the genuine movie-theater experience at home, there’s simply no replacement for a powerful Audio Video Receiver or AVR. These devices serve as the central hub for your speakers, projector or TV, and content sources, optimizing the signal that goes to each along with making them more convenient to control. ensures you get the same reference volume level of a commercial theater in rooms where the screen-to-seat distance is about 12 feet Our Installation Service only includes connecting to existing points and fixings. This does not include installing or moving plumbing, connection points or electrics. Installing new points or moving existing points is the customer’s responsibility we can recommend local tradesmen however this will be at the customer’s expense and we not accept any liability for their work.Onkyo has dumped Audyssey to calibrate the RZ50 in favor of the Dirac Live calibration system. It’s easy to see why too. Dirac’s system allows you to truly fine-tune your listening experience, but be prepared. Calibration can easily go from a few minutes to an hour or two depending on how in-depth you want to get into the calibration process. Dirac Live Room Correction adjusts both the frequency response and impulse response in the time domain, and offers customizable target curves. If you’re an audiophile, you will love this feature, but it could also be intimidating for some. Onkyo TX-RZ50 Performance If loading HARMAN, etc, curves take that into account, and adjust with the AVR sub level before DIRAC. The receiver is also “Roon Tested” certified but here we need to make clear that there are two types of certifications and many people don’t know the difference between them. The two types of certification are Roon Ready and Roon Tested. We do provide installation options for built-in appliances providing it is simply a case of fitting the appliance and furniture doors. Any additional work to the kitchen units or carpentry work required will need to be completed at the customer’s expense. But it’s not just action movies that benefit from the Onkyo TX-RZ50’s advanced surround sound technology. Even more dialogue-driven movies like “The Shawshank Redemption” sounded fantastic. The prison scenes were particularly impressive, with the sound of the prison gates clanking shut and the chatter of the inmates coming through loud and clear. Conclusion

Was watching Youtube and came across a video regarding the RZ50, which I'm planning on getting or was, not so sure at the moment. I came across a comment I quoted below, I was going to do exactly what he tried. Get a 3 channel amp for my front sound stage and run 4 atmos speakers.(7.2.4) According to his comment you can't do this ??? So now I'm thinking maybe I just look for a better AVR since I'll have to double my amp budget like he did. This seems crazy and I hope this comment is incorrect. The chart below compares fiscal Q1 2020 with Q1 2021 in two important metrics, sales and profit (loss in Onkyo’s case). The graph’s unit of measure is 1-million Japanese Yen.enables ultra-fast motion UHD images to be crisp and razor-sharp; and sports, action movies, and high-performance gaming benefit significantly. The TX-RZ50 supports higher performance from streaming devices like the latest Apple TV. Discrete Zone 2 HDMI Switching Last film we tested and we could not close this review without it is one of our favorite films of all time, The Lord of the Rings. This time we decided to try our the Two Towers and obviously the battle of Helm’s Deep was the obvious choice.

You can give the Onkyo TX-RZ50 AVR commands by speaking into an Alexa device. To listen to music, radio stations, or podcasts, all you have to do is ask. It also enables the playing of music through various devices and spaces. Multi-room audio may require a firmware upgrade.
